The Warriors: Protectors of the Multiverse

Chapter 136

The warriors except Batman were checking out the city while Hercules was spending the evening with Meg and were chatting a bit

Wow. What a day. First that restaurant by the bay. Hercules said

Mmm... Meg said

And then that, that play, that, that Oedipus thing. Man! I thought I had problems. Hercules said

Both chuckle and such while two little birds sitting and bathing in a small water fountain turn into Pain and Panic to speak to Meg

Psst! Stop foolin' around! Panic said

Yeah. Get the goods, sister. Pain said

Hercules turns back and they turn into birds and tweet innocently

I didn't know that playing hooky could be so much fun. Hercules said

Yeah. Neither did I. Meg said

Thanks, Meg. Hercules said

Oh...Don't that me just yet. Oh! Meg said

Meg slips and falls into Hercules's arms

Oops, careful. Hercules said

Sorry. Weak ankles. Meg said

Oh yeah? Well, maybe you better sit down for a while. Hercules said

Okay. Meg said

Hercules carries Meg to a bench and they sit down

So, uh, do you have any problems with things like...this? Meg said

Meg stretches her leg and holds her foot right before Hercules's face

Uh... Hercules said

Weak ankles, I mean. Meg said

Oh. Uh, no. Not really. Hercules said

No weaknesses whatsoever? No trick knee? Meg said

Uh... Hercules said

Ruptured...disks? Meg said

No. I'm...i'm afraid I'm, uh...fit as a fiddle. Hercules said

Hercules finally stands up from the bench

Wonderboy, you are perfect. Meg said

Thanks. Hercules said

Hercules throws a rock jumping on the water in a fountain and it breaks the arms off the statue of Venus

Whoops. Hercules said

Meg also stood up from the bench and approached Hercules

It looks better that way. No, it really does. Meg said

You know, when I was a kid i...i would have given anything to be exactly like everybody else. Hercules said

You wanted to be petty and dishonest? Meg said

Everybody's not like that. Hercules said

Yes they are. Meg said

You're not like that. Hercules said

How do you know what I'm like? Meg said

All I know is...you're the most amazing person with...weak ankles I've ever met. Hercules said

Really? Meg said

Megara steps back and gets pricked on an arrow of a tiny statue of Amur

Yeah i mean Meg, when I'm with you I-I don't feel so...alone. Hercules said

Sometimes it's better to be alone. Meg said

What do you mean? Hercules said

Nobody can hurt you. Meg said

Meg i would never ever hurt you. Hercules said

And I don't wanna hurt you, so...let's both do ourselves a favor and...stop this...um...before...we... Meg said

Their lips met for the kiss, but the moment before it happens a bright light flashes into their eyes and it was Phil on Pegasus, impersonating a police helicopter

All right! Break it up! Break it up! Party's over! I've been lookin' all over this town! Phil said

Calm down, mutton man! It was all my fault. Meg said

You're already on my list, sister, so don't make it worse. Phil said

Pegasus snorts at Megara she snorts back turning the light off

And as for you, ya bum, you're gonna go to the stadium and you're gonna be put through the workout of your life! Phil said

Oh come on really? Hercules said

Yeah really. Now get on the horse. Phil said

Okay, okay. Hercules said

I'm sorry. Meg said

Ah, he'll get over it. Hercules said

Hercules then bends a huge tree casually and picks a flower of it gives it to Meg and kisses her on the cheek

Move! Move, move, move, move, move! Move! Hercules said

Alright i'm coming. Hercules said

Hercules then gets on Pegasus with Phil but was still looking at Meg

Whoo! Ya-eee! Hey, watch it, watch it! Whoo! Watch it! Keep your goo-goo eyes on the... Phil said

Suddenly a branch hits Phil and he falls on the ground

That's it. Next time, I drive. Phil said dizzily

Megara sits alone and smells the flower

Oh. what's the matter with me? You'd think a girl would learn. Meg said

(If there's a prize for rotten judgment.)

(I guess i've already won that.)

(No man is worth the aggravation.)

(That's ancient history been there, done that!)

(Who d'ya think you're kidding?)

(He's the Earth and Heaven to you)

(Try to keep it hidden, honey, We can see right through you.)

(Oh, no.)

(Girl, you can't conceal it.)

(We know how you feel and who you're thinkin' of.)

(Oh-no, no chance, no way, I won't say it, no, no.)

(You swoon, you sigh, why deny it, uh-oh?)

(It's too cliche, I won't say I'm in love.)

(Shoo-doo, shoo-doo, oo-oo-oo.)

(I thought my heart had learned its lesson it feels so good when you start out.)

(Ahh...)

(My head is screaming get a grip, girl.)

(Unless you're dyin' to cry your heart, oh.)

(You keep on denying who you are and how you're feelin'.)

(Baby we're not buyin' hon, we saw you hit the ceilin'.)

(Ohh...)

(Face it like a grownup when you gonna own up that you Got Got Got it bad.)

(Oh-no, no chance, no way, I won't say it, no, no.)

(Give up, but give in, Check the grin, you're in love.)

(This scene won't play, I won't say I'm in love.)

(You're doing flips, read our lips You're in love.)

(Shoo-doo, shoo-doo.)

(You're way off base, I won't say it.)

(She won't say in love.)

(Get off my case, I won't say it.)

(Girl, don't be proud, it's okay, you're in love.)

(Oh...at least at loud I won't say I'm in love.)

(Shoo-doo, shoo-doo, shoo-doo, shoo-doo Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la Haaa.)

Meg laid back and continues to hold the flower Hercules gave her until Lobo and Hades appeared

Hey, what's the buzz, huh, Meg? Hades said

Oh great. Meg said

Hey there sweetheart. Lobo said

Double great. Meg said

So...what is the weak link in Wonderboy's chain?

Look get yourself another girl, i'm through. Meg said

What? Lobo said

I'm sorry. Do you mind runnin' that by me again? I must have had a chunk of brimstone wedged in my ear or something. Hades said

Then read my lips! Forget it! Meg said

Again. What? Lobo said

Meg, Meg, Meg, my sweet deluded little minion. Aren't we forgetting one teensy-weensy, but ever so crucial little, tiny detail? Hades said

What? Meg said

Hades then bursts into flames

I OWN YOU! Hades said

Phil gets up after being knocked out

Oh. I got another horn here...that kid's gonna be doin' laps for a month. Phil said

Suddenly Batman comes in from out of nowhere
